Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Celebrate Fifth Anniversary.

Five years after taking over the midday timeslot long occupied by Rush Limbaugh, Clay Travis and Buck Sexton are celebrating a milestone for their nationally syndicated radio show.

Premiere Networks announced that June marks the fifth anniversary of “The Clay Travis & Buck Sexton Show,” which launched nationwide on June 21, 2021. The program is now heard on more than 550 radio stations across the country, including major markets such as New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Houston, Boston, Seattle, Miami, Detroit, Phoenix, San Diego, Tampa, Las Vegas and Austin.

The show succeeded Limbaugh, who dominated the noon-to-3pm ET daypart for more than three decades. Since its launch, Premiere says the program has added more than 130 affiliates while expanding its audience across digital and podcast platforms.

The radio show also serves as the centerpiece of the Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Podcast Network, which debuted in 2023 and includes a roster of news, politics and culture programs featuring hosts including Lisa Boothe, Tudor Dixon, Karol Markowicz, Mary Katharine Ham and Ryan Girdusky.

“We’ve exceeded every goal — not just for the radio show, where we’ve added more than 130 new affiliates, but across podcasting and digital as well,” Travis said. “We couldn’t be more thrilled.”

Sexton suggested the brand’s growth is far from over.

“And the best part is, we’re just warming up,” he said. “We have big plans on deck that we’re excited to share with our amazing audience — because that’s why we do this. It’s for them.”

Premiere Networks President Julie Talbott credited the hosts with successfully building on one of talk radio’s most recognizable franchises.

“We’re so proud to celebrate this milestone with Clay and Buck,” Talbott said. “They had enormous shoes to fill when we launched this show, and they’ve surpassed our expectations in every way. Clay and Buck have built a dynamic, high-impact brand of talk radio that continues to grow across multiple platforms and delivers unmatched results for our affiliate and advertising partners.”
